 The first printer who held eases on the Republican boarded a passenger
 train in central Texas, west bound, as most printers do, cooked h,s feet upon the seat, with the following pass check stuck in his hat: "Admit bearer to any lunatic asylum in the United States or Canada" The conductor came along, took the check, read it and replaced it. At the first station nothing was said and MT. Printer thought his cum ming had won a division ride. At the next, however, the conductor said "Well, young fellow, the lunatic asylum is back the other way, you had better get of rhere."-El Psso Republican.
 An eastern exchange says every read CT of daily newspaper is often con- scious that he knows much better how to run a paper, so as to give general satisfaction, than the editor himself no editor, probably, has ever lived who has not been instructed concerning his particular duties, time and time again, by readers whose critical tastes have not been pleased by the policy he has pursued. Hence the Minneapolis Tri- bune invites all its readers to contribute to its columns short, pithy articles, giv- ing their views as to "How Newspa- per Should be Conducted"
 A word of advice to business men from Peter Cooper: "In all towns where a newspaper is published, every man should advertise in it, even if nothing more than . card stating his name and the business he is engaged in. It does not only pay the advertiser, but lets the people at distance know that the town in which you reside is prosperous community of business men A the ssed is sown, @ the seed recom- pensss. Never pull down your sign, wbile you expect to do business."
 Next to Mount St Elias in Alasks, Mount Tacoma is the tallest peak in the United States. Dr. c.

Kissed by Their Wives.
From She Philadelphia press.

From Che Philadelphia press.
In an article on "kissing," a subject
which has some interest for women,
an English writer relates how an Eng
ish duke, who had married his third
wife, was one day surprised as he en-
tered the draw1ng.room, dressed for
some state ceremonial, by his spouse
throwing her arms about his neck and
kissing him. MADAME" said he, in
the chilliest of tones, "my first wife
was q Howard, my second was q
Pembroke, and, madame, neither of
them ever dared attempt such iber-
ty." A story is told in the Memoirs
OF Adam Black, the publisher of Edin-
burgh, about a minister who resented
his wife's kissing him, not ON &C
count Of his offended dignity, but on
account Of the day on which the ex-
preston was made. The Rev J. A..
Calhoun, of Leight, was q. man OF ex-
treme solemnity OF demeanor. On
one sacrament Sunday morning his
wife, being DESTROYS ofhaving him nicely
rugged out for the occasion, had his
coat we'll brushed, his SHIRT as white
as snow, and his bands hanging hand
somely on his breast; and when she
surveyed her guide man. she was so de-
lighted with his appearance that she
suddenly took him around the neck
and kissed him. Thereupon the Rev.
John was SO offended by this carnal
proceeding that he debarred his wife
from the sacrament that day. 80

A Good One on Blackburn.

In Washington no man has great
er reputation for flow OF language
than Senator Blackburn of Kentucky.
He is considered a fountain of words
and oratory. Congressman Green OF
North Carolina tells a story OF how
Assistant Postmaster General Adlai
E. Stevenson of Illinois hit off this
accomplishment at a banquet where
they were both present. Reminds
cences were III order, and Blackburn
had been striking out right and left
with jokes at everybody at the table.
Stevenson started out to relate an in
cident OF his college days, when Black
burn and he were students together,
and said: "The senator will tell YOU
that he remembers we'll the duel be-
tween two of our fellow students in
which we acted as seconds Black
burn interjected remark that he re-
mem bered perfectly we'll, and Steven
son continued: '"The two young fell
lows had got into dispute which
they saw no other way Of settling ex-
cept by the code ofhonor. We went
out to the field of battle. We posted
our men. You remember, Black
burn" said he, chow you paced OFF
the ground and how we stood the fell
lows up?' "Oh, yes" said Black
burn, II remember very WELL" Then
Stevenson resumed the thread OF his
story. ''Well, we had the fellows
pistol in hand ready for use just as
the sun was shooting its rays up over
the hills in the east. Blackburn SEEM
ed to think it was a proper thing to
say something, and he stepped out in
front OF our little party to make q
few remarks. It is mourrrful to think
OF the results of that duel" Here
Stevenson paused for amoment, when
somebody at the table called out.
''Were they both killed. NO." was
the quick response, ''when Mr. Black
burn got through it was too dark for
them to fire. Amid the uproar OF
laughter that ensned the senator
tried to protest that he did not re-
n1smber that part OF the duel. But
the jury of diners passed the verdict
that he had not proved all alibi and
that he stood convicted on his gen.
eral reputation.-New York TRIBUNE.

and we grasped our rifles for 8 final

for the savages, with every Indication

AT first I thought it was a ruse to

saw that it was genuine retreat. We

managed to give the rascals q few

I'VE were not long in discovering the
cause Of the Indian fight. Two com
panies of cavalry came in sight, and
a detachment was sent over to our re-
lief, while the rest pushed on after the
flying savages. It is not often that
brave men sob aloud, but the reac-
ton from our horrible and seemingly
hopeless condition to our new state OF
safety was too great, and we broke
down and cried like children.

"Poor Lieutenant Barlow and the

military honors the next day. We
made night march to the tort, an
ambulance having been provided for
the survivors Of our party. It seems
that q scout from Fort Lyon had
heard the firing the day before, and
mad repeated 1t to the commanding
officer OF Hhat post, who sent out the
force to ouA relief.

l believe that there is more decep-
ton about the happiness OF the aver
age millionaire than the most skepti-
cal Of us imagine. A few days ago
went to q Baptist church presided
over by an old-fashioned clergyman
whom I heard first when I was six
years old. He isn't exactly the fash.
ion, but he breaches sermons OF the
good old orthodox style that are to
me more acceptable than the vain
frippery and resonant conceit of the
two preachers who are just now the
idols of the town. The usher took me
halfway up theaisle, and sat down
behind d man who was perhaps 48
years OF age. He wore the conven-
tional frock coat. was struck first
by the magnificent contour OF his
head. 1t might have been modelled
after that of the greatest OF the cse-
sars. But he looked very much out
OF health. His skin was colorless, his
eyes heavy and brow wrinkled. From
every quarter OF the church eyes were
stranded at him from time to time.
What struck me particularly was his
restlessness. It seemed an utter i'm
possibility for him to remain quiet
even for an instant. HIS shifted his
seat, twisted his head and twitched
his fingers all through the service. /
have no doubt he would have resent
ed such sentiment on my part, but
I must say that pitied him-and be.

pleasant thing to be able to pity a.

Revivirlg the Lying Industry.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
This eastern boom, / mean the
boom made by eastern people with
money, has started up some of the
old dead industries of California.
With the easy progress Of civilization,
the good old industry Of Lying had al
most died out. It got discouraged,
and so many wonderful things had
happened elsewhere that it was hard
for: the Californian Imagination to
meet the necessities. It was easier to
give up lying to strangers altogether,
for even. the most untraveled eastern
er could ring the bell on the Califor-
Man guide or stage-driver. Thesegen-
try are now awakening from their
slethargy and beginning to, make the
Yosemite and other trips lively. A
friend Of mine from the east has Just
come back from the Yosemite and he
relates his experience. The stage
